One showroom, seven Italian kitchen houses: how we choose your kitchen

Most people begin their search for Italian kitchens with a list of showrooms and a Saturday that is never enough. Each shop shows its own brand, in its own language, and the comparison is left for home, over photos on a phone. We work differently: we are curators. We have selected seven Italian kitchen houses, we know them inside out, and you see them side by side.

Why seven houses and not one

No single house does everything well. One has worked solid wood for decades, another invites architects to design an island like a sculpture. If you walk into a single-brand showroom, they will show you the best solution of that brand. When you have seven in front of you, we can show you the best solution for you.

There is also a filter you cannot see: every house went through the same quality selection before joining our collection. The quality is constant. What changes is the character.

The seven houses in brief

Febal Casa: the architectural side

Since 1959 in Pesaro, Febal Casa brings architects' signatures into the kitchen. The Onda island, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, has fused-glass doors with a wave in relief. For those who want the kitchen to be the first thing you see in the home.

Gentili Cucine: the kitchen made to your measure

The Gentili has worked wood since 1830. The Time programme offers three door types, flat, frame and aluminium frame, and the house counts more than 280 materials and finishes. Romantica and Village keep the classic side, with a 24 mm solid ash frame.

Scandola: the workshop of the mountain

The Scandola set up its workshop in 1976 at 1,100 metres in the Lessini mountains, and never came down. In Maestrale and Tabià the fronts are 2.5 cm solid spruce, with grain and knots that never repeat. Available exclusively at MobilCasa.

Sira Cucine: the classic with a signature

Founded in 1977, Sira is our most classic house. In Vittoria and Sofia, door and frame are 24 mm solid chestnut, with patina or décapé, carved capitals and extractor hoods that look like a fireplace. Available exclusively at MobilCasa.

Callesella: four generations in wood

The Callesella began in 1896 in the hills of Treviso and is run today by the fourth generation. From the country style of Everyday, in brushed solid fir, to the urban loft of Fly, every series has wood at its centre. Available exclusively at MobilCasa.

GF Interiors: the clean line

The GF Interiors began in 1947 in Abruzzo and thinks of the home as a single composition. Flat offers eight front versions on the same gola profile, with matt lacquer in 22 shades, for kitchens that are minimalist without being cold.

Pedini: the modern curve

The seventh house in the collection, Pedini, completes the modern side with architectural lines and curved forms.

You will find all the compositions, by house and by style, in our kitchen collections .

How we choose together with you

The choice does not start from the catalogue. It starts from four questions we ask at every first meeting:

• How do you live in your kitchen? Do you cook every day or entertain often? An kitchen with an island changes the way people gather, but it needs space around it.
• Which style speaks to you? Minimalist, architectural, country or classic. Every style has the house that does it best.
• Which material do you want to touch every day? Wood, lacquer, glass or stone.
• What space do you have? An open living room, a closed kitchen or an attic corner under the eaves each call for a different solution.

With the answers in hand, usually two or three houses remain. You see them side by side in the showroom, you touch the samples, and we design the kitchen together in your own space.

Wood or lacquer: two Italian philosophies

The most common decision is also the most personal. The Solid Wood brings warmth, grain that never repeats and a kitchen that ages beautifully. Lacquer gives a seamless colour, depth and clean lines. Neither is “better”. They are two ways of living.

If you lean towards the classic, our guide to classic kitchens explains what patina, décapé and the frame door mean. For all the materials, from lacquer to Fenix, see our guide to kitchen materials.

What to bring to the first meeting

The more we know about your space, the faster we go from the seven houses to the two that matter to you. You do not need to have decided anything. You only need to show us what your home is like today and what you want it to be.

• The dimensions of the space or a simple sketch, with doors, windows and water supply points.
• Photos of the space as it is today.
• Images of kitchens you liked, even if you do not know why.
• An idea of what you cook and how many people you usually host.
